" 1 ' BOOMED TO FAILURE ; "In ' all these attempts,' says : Weln stock," Glass failed because Hone of his efforts had any foundation. ' Today the California- Dairymen's association is stronger than ever despite the efforts of Glass and his, employers.; i" v - "That the people of California ap preciate the benefits to the consumer of farmers' 1 marketing organizations," '-l is made plain "by the fact that the last two legislature overwhelmingly defeated the efforts to repeal j the market commission- act which has for its purpose the organisation of ' farmers marketing organisations." - i; 1 " The letter of Colonel Welnstock In full follows: . . j . Walter K. Pierce,! President, I State Taxpayers' League, Portland : It, I have been afforded an opportunity to review the conditions In your city in connection with the milk situation. . I .note that a Sitter war is being waged against the Dairymen's associa tion by the Portland: milk distributors and the owners of private creameries. I also note that Frank, Glass has seemingly been imported from California to conduct such anti-dairymen's war. It seems to be simply a case of Cali fornia milk history repeating Itself in Oregon. Glass is Quoted in one of your local papers' as savin that the creamery concern he represents in Oregon id very willing to deal with individual dairymen, but not with the Dairymen's association. This is not an unnatural attitude, - The milk distributor and the private cream ery owner feel that : they can drive a better bargain with the individual dairyman than with a dairyman's asso ciation. So the association Is fought accordingly. WHICH IS PREFERRED I The question arises, which system Is more in interest of milk consumer.. indi vidual or collective selling on the part of the dairyman? -14 in the. long run, the consumer is as well off under the one system as under the other, then he is not concerned in the issue and it be comes to . him a matter of Indifference how the dairyman markets his milk, whether he does so Individually or col lectively through an association, i i - Experience, hower,:in. California and elsewhere, has shown that the consumer is much concerned in this marketing question. He is much concerned' be cause it is of the highest importance to him as a consumer that the producer shall be kept producing. He will go on doing so only when he can make a liv ing. If production becomes unprofitable, the producer quits producing and the consumer either goes hungry orpaye prohibitive prices, because of greatly reduced production. Some people have a notion, and the private interests leave nothing undone to spread such a notion, that when farmers get together they can combine' and name any. old price they please for their product; which the con sumer must pay. There are two things, however, which make such monopolistic policy not oly. Impossible on the part of the farmer, but unprofitable as - well. Dairymen, for example, cannot control the price of milk unless they own all the cows in the country, and practically all the- land as well. Otherwise, the moment it becomes known that the Ore gon dairymen, for example, were getting rich quickly, numbers would rush into Oregon dairying from -everywhere and the greatly increased milk production would soon lower prices and reduce pro ductive profits.' Furthermore, , If the dairymen in their 4 greed ; for i excess profits were to force prices up ab normally, - it. would react in lessening consumption, and in thus increasing sur plus milk, which would In turn, kill profits. HATCBAL LAWS BULB :i f The law of supply and demand works out in dairying precisely as It does in other activities. If the producer fails to receive living prices, he quits pro ducing, the supply is lessened, and the price of the lessened supply to thus forced upward at the eexpense.of the consumer. ' If the producer tries to be a monopllst and force prices up, so as to make a big profit, others Jump Into the game, production is increased, prices lower, and the attempted monopoly is defeated. . --a-... ., -, " - Supply and demand make the price to the consumer. It is, therefore, in the interest of the consumer that there shall always be a good supply. In the long run, it makes a big difference to the Consumer whether the dairyman gets the most or the least out of .the con sumer s dollar. If the producer gets the least out of the -consumer's dollar and the distributor rets the most, it makes Jt harder for the producer to, live, and ?.r,r. "J!?' i..lf th Produoar gets the .Possible share of the consumer's SSi k-U mkM !t "we nearly possible the..

In this particular instance, -progress is treading on the toes of the mlik dis tributor and the private creamery owner, and they are going ot tight to tne limit to postpone sucn progress loner as Dossible. S as r Frank Glass tried to stop such prog ress in California in connection with the Dairymen's association. He did it as the . paid agent of the private in- terests, not for the welfare of the con sumer; Glass' first attempt was to have the. California marketing law repealed, thus, discouraging cooperative market ing. ' In -this he utterly and completely failed. The measure which he fathered with such end in view received in the California t state senate only nine votes out of 40. He then tried to arouse public sentiment against the Dairymen's association by incitnlg California house wives through their leagues to denounce the Dairymen's association as stinging the consumers. He did this by imposing on the lack of information on the part of the housewives on the milk question and by filling them with misinformation. As a. con sequence, there was great agi tation against the Dairymen's associ ation, which, however, ended In smoke because it had no foundation. , (COURTS APPEALED TO Then Glass resorted to the authorities. He managed to get the officials of the Dairymen s association in Modesto, Cal.. arrested on some, alleged law breaking charge, and also the Dairymen's as sociation officials in San Francisco ar rested on some other alleged law break ing' charge. In-both Instances the juries promptly declared the officials innocent ,of wrongdoing, and the efforts of Glass came to naught. i . Today the California DalrvmenV as sociation is stronger than ever and be-? coming . stronger every oay, despite the strenuous efforts of Glass .and his em ployers to harass and annoy them in every possible way. ? ; Due to the high cost of production which has grown faster ' than the in crease in price oi mtik, numerous dairy men in California have within the past year been obliged to dispose of their cows, many or them to the butcher. All this ia against the interest of the consumer, -whose welfare deoenrfn on the dairyman keeping on maintaining production. Had it not bn for the California Dairymen's association, which r.as cut out waste in the cost of mar keting and aided in securing for the producer the largest possible share of tne consumer s aonar, many more Cali fornia dairymen would-have been forced out of the business, to the decided. in jury of the consumer. :-- That the neonle of Cfe.lt farn I a. a nnr. date the benefits to the consumer of farmers marketing associations, ia made plain by the fact that the last two legis- latures overwneiminglv - defeated the strenuous efforts to repal the marketing law$ which has for its purpose the or ganization of farmers': marketing aa- More recently an effort war made to repeal the marketing law by the use of the initiative.
